Here is today's ITK Discussion thread.

A couple of posts from yesterday that will help you and us all stay sane today and going forwards………..

Guys, can we save the stuff about how long it takes us to sign players/our failures in the transfer window until the day after the window shuts? Its getting pretty boring now and its an argument that's going around and around in circles.

Put your frustrations away for a couple of weeks and just try to enjoy the ride. After the window closes we traditionally open this thread up to a transfer window 'post mortem' at which point it would all be better discussed from a position of knowing what's transpired.

Usually, once the window closes a number of people are seething with rage at Levy, who will then pull a masterstroke by making some sort of stadium related announcement at which point he'll go back to being a hero who can do no wrong. Or as the BSoDL like to call him, 'daddy'…….:D

Anyway, can we? Yeah?

Lets leave it for just a couple of weeks…..'kay?

I've been deleting posts that go on about yesterdays game as I see them. But i'm getting fed up with it now, so the next step is to delete access.

Yesterday's result, the United result and how we get on in our game at Leicester next week have got nothing to do with ITK.

Nothing.

There. Couldn't be clearer could it? Tantrums about not signing players by your personal deadlines aren't really all that interesting, like it or not, what counts is the official deadline. Not yours.

I was trying to link it in with how much we would have to pay for Berahino now but in hindsight the Berahino thread would have been more appropriate, apologies, post deleted
And the cockcheese? Don't dance around that……:p

@dovahkiin any ITK out there? I think this thread needs it.

Only ITK out there at the mo is just scraping it (could even be opinion, tbf) - the stuff by Ali Z I posted yesterday:

In reference to there being no "bid" for Berahino:
you can bet your bottom dollar we are negotiating hence no bid as such - haggle time

In reference to the links to Embolo:
not heard his name mentioned sadly

hertyid has been pretty quiet lately, possibly keeping out of the firing line as Ade is digging his heels in.

We're nearly into the last two weeks of the window (Tomorrow @ 6pm is the 2 week countdown), so I fully expect Daniel to be gearing up ready, laying out his transfer window equipment, and torture tools he intends on using in an attempt to get someone to take on Ade and Lennon.

Trying to kick off some ITK related stuff in here then :)
Real buying Kovacic would hopefully making Illaramendi more attainable? Or am I just too hopeful/naive.

Probably the same equipment that scared off Martial and Werner? :confused:

A few people have suggested this, but I was under the impression that Illaramendi has been available regardless.
Bit like the assumption that us signing N'jie would make Lennon more available.

In respect of us not bidding yet, I suppose it does make sense these days that clubs don't mess about with bid - rejection, higher bid - rejection, even higher bid - accepted like they maybe used to and instead pretty much talk out what the fee should be before they even bother to place the first bid. At least that's how this whole Berahino thing is coming across.

And failing :p

An ITK coming out and saying something concrete about Illaramendi is the first step. But none have done so.

Sorry about that. Was quite sure Trix said he was a possible option.
Trix said something about him being mentioned to the club 'a while ago' (or something along those lines) but he had no information about wether or not we followed up on that. I believe he's on the case of finding out wether or not he's currently a target.
